Should there be a tag for the index package? Being a rather generic term, it's hard to search for.

There's a tag which covers generic index-related issues. This isn't necessarily appropriate for issues that are specific to one particular package.

There's a tag with only two questions: How to display index entries on the same line as the text being indexed which is about LaTeX's built-in indexing facilities, and the question I just posted babel and index both redefine \markboth and \markright which is about the index package.

If a tag is warranted, what should it be called? ?

A tag called is likely to be used to mean indexing in general. In fact, should be made a synonym of to avoid being recreated?
